a 4x5 collage mail art postcard. It features a B&W yearbook photo of two young men engaging in collegiate (aka Olympic) wrestling. They are both on the floor, entwined with each other. Above the picture, from a different source is the word LUST in fonts drawn from lines that somewhat resemble wood grain. underlining the word is a graphic illustration of an elegant ribbon. text that is upside down on this ribbon says "reply by december 31st to get the hollywood issue".below the picture on the viewer's right corner area, from yet another source, is the word "marsh" in an all capitals thin font.
6x6 collage mail art postcard. Features a gray stormy sky photo, imposed over it is another pic from a different source, of something that resembles a humble 'frontier' church steeple. The top of the steeple has been replaced with a more elegant refined point - at the very top a thin red swatch from another source with the number "630" on it juts out like a flag. Some men in suits, that are part of the humble steeple picture, are visible along the bottom. Floating above the men are a trio of sharks taken from another source. These sharks are drawn in a simple but scientifically accurate style.
two more postcards sent to friends from Seattle.
I made these during 'down time' at Slip Gallery who hosted open house for folx to participate in. It had a great time sharing ideas/space with new and longtime creators.

collage made from magazine clippings. It features a background of many taxidermy antlers. 'floating' above them is a male looking figure in a suit with a tie. the persons head is covered in part by a picture of a desert mesa as well as the word "word" in black letters on a red background. the figures legs are outstretched. over the viewer's left and right foot are a single word each: "types" and "Sizes" also black with a red background.
collage postcard featuring a gingham (or red/white checkerboard tablecloth style pattern). Its edges are torn, it is placed atop a color photo of green grass. over these elements is a photo reproduction of 4 men playing basketball in uniforms, they are near the hoop, 3 are jumping for a ball. over this trio of figures is the word "fair" in all capital letters, with a red background. The ball is obscured with another piece of scrap paper featuring a red dot and some vertical straight lines and the upside down word "for". Over all of these are some loose red and teal marker line scribbles.
2 of the collage mail art cards I made when in Seattle for The Seaside Fleet: Collage-O-Rama.
Sent to friends across north america.
I'll share more later.

digital photo of an orange and black spike-patterned paper boat. it is floating in some foamy water that is puddling under a rain gutter. the ground is rough, cracked cement. the building the brown gutter is attached to a yellow painted wood building. the building wood looks worn.
35mm 800iso color photo of an orange/black spike-pattern paper boat that is tucked into some leafy vines growing up the concrete wall at the edge of a freeway underpass. the boat is not clearly identifiable as it is obscured by the unkempt foliage.
2 more boats from Seattle's Seaside Fleet.
These are both from the rainy day if memory serves me right.
one from downtown, the other on my way to Glazer's camera.

an 800iso 35mm color photo of a blue waves hand folded paper boat sitting in front of a neon "open" sign that has orange-red lettering, and oval light strips in blue mostly surrounding the word. because of the film used, the whole picture has a slight blue cast. the light is dusky and moody
digital pix of several hand-folded paper boats inside the base of a street lamp. the copper-green lamp has a missing service hatch at ground level, from it spill some wires in white, aqua, and black. mixed among the wires are several paper boats with various patterns.
2 random pix from The Seaside Fleet: Seattle. I covered so much ground in this iteration!
For the first time in almost 25 years have real film pix to share as well!

Wide photo of a terminal at LAX. On a indicator pole sits a small blue hand-folded paper boat.
Close up of the boat in pic one. Behind the blue boat a monitor displays that the flight due to arrive will stop in Oakland (this is not my stop).
And so it begins. Waiting for my flight at LAX.

Several hundred paper boats hand-folded by artist JRC. Some art orange and black with a stiff zig-zag pattern, some are blue with a wave pattern. A few look like collaged newsprint.
I'll be distro'ing 1000 hand-folded paper boats in Seattle this May. Part of my ongoing project, The Seaside Fleet.

4 different photo prints that each feature 2 different images from a Seaside Fleet project or related sighting. included are shots from Santa Fe, NYC, and New Orleans - in addition to a fleet of boats affixed to a wooden pole Melrose Ave in LA.
photograph of a hand sized 35mm camera made by Ilford. it is red and black, and has a flash.
Got some documentation prints of past Seaside Fleet deployments (and other related sightings).
These will go into new ephemera packs that I sell to support the project. I also bought a small 35mm to document SSF projects easily - aside from using my phone.
